For high security of
classified government communication, secured communication network is
proposed to be established for fixed and wireless communication at an
estimated capital cost of Rs 300 crore. Further, Rs 100 crore for five
years are proposed to be earmarked for operational expenditure and Rs 50
crore for Research and Development.
"For the security of communication flowing within the country, it is desired that traffic should not flow outside the country and should be routed through National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI), a government-supported not-for- profit organisation that facilitates exchange of domestic internet traffic," the working group added.
A lot of intra-communication is classified. The security of this communication has to be ensured by alternative mechanism because neither it is advisable to wait for such a mandating and capacity building nor it may be appropriate to rely on the level of security provided by such a scheme as communication would still remain in open domain of interest, the paper said.
BSNL and MTNL would be reimbursed full capital cost they incur for building the secured communication fixed network, which is being rolled out by them on commercial basis.
